• View the display materials for the Right-of-Way Lighting Policy and the Street Design Policy. • Listen to a presentation at 7 p.m. of the draft Right-of-Way Lighting Policy and the Street Design Policy followed by a question and answer session. • Provide comments on the preliminary policies.

Right-of-Way Lighting Policy The citywide Right-of-Way Lighting Policy, started in spring 2006, will set new standards for lighting roadways and sidewalks in all urban and rural areas in the City of Ottawa. Goals of the study include standardizing street and sidewalk lighting, maintaining safety, reducing light pollution, improving lighting design and achieving cost savings where possible.

The policy will not address lighting in parks, along trails and pathways and does not address lighting on property adjacent to road rights-of-way. The target completion date for the fi nal policy is summer 2007.

The Right-of-Way Lighting Policy public open house display materials and the draft poli- cy document will be available for review and on-line comments as of April 9 at the project Web site: ottawastreetlighting.ca.

Street Design Policy The City also initiated a new Street Design Policy in April 2006 as a companion to the Right- of-Way Lighting Policy. This policy will set higher design standards for special streets within the City and establish criteria to determine which streets warrant this treatment, such as, burial of hydro and telecommunication cables, decorative paving, street trees, pedestrian streetlights, benches etc. It will also determine how and when these improvements will be fi nanced and how they will be maintained. The target completion date for the fi nal policy is fall 2007.

Please drop in any time between the hours noted above. Comment sheets will also be available at the meeting.
